3.0 out of 5 stars
A Pretty Good Book,
By Sakinah Graham (Huntsville, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Very Special Kwanzaa (Paperback)
My 8 year old daughter and I read this book over the Kwanzaa holiday (2003) and enjoyed it. It has good vocabulary and the story is okay. It portrays a working class African-American family in a very positive way. We were surprised by the other reader's comment because it never occurred to us that the two bully characters were white. One, Gilbert, may be, the other, Marcus, clearly is not. Both characters are featured in the illustrations. Overall, the book is quite multi-cultural. I agree that the reader will not learn a lot about Kwanzaa but it is a pretty good book.

A Very Special Kwanzaa,
By Dr. Kenyatta Mufatti (Tacoma, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Very Special Kwanzaa (Paperback)
This book does nothing but steriotype how 2 white boys pick on a black child. As an African American, I am deeply disappointed that the book does nothing to tell the world about the wonderful holiday of Kwanzaa. How is the world to find out anything about our sacred holiday when you have to wade through 100 pages of "All whites are terrible" steriotypes. In summation, this book was poorly written and does nothing to further the black cause.
